Rules:
[LIST=1]
[*]All games MUST be spectated by a staff member of Genocide Gaming. The presiding staff member has the authority to remove teams from the tournament if they find that a player/team is guilty of violating any of the rules below. Any exceptions or changes to the rules may only be made with the authority of an Admin (Chief).

[*]All participating players must be a member of Genocide Gaming in order to participate. Participants must also fill out the above template and post it in THIS FORUM
[*]All Players/Teams must abide by the League of Legends Summoner's Code. Failure to abide by the code may result in removal from the tournament.

[*]Teams will be randomly generated with the names of everyone signed up in the thread at the start of the tournament. In the case of extra players, Genocide Gaming staff will fill in the missing positions, but will be removed from their staff position during the duration of the tournament so as to eliminate conflict of interest.

[*]All players must be on [URL="ts3server://ts.genolol.com/"]teamspeak [/URL]and in the Genocide Gaming lobby on League of Legends during the making of the teams. Teams will then enter their own chat lobby in teamspeak and must stay there for the remainder of the tournament. Communication between teams will be done in the Genocide Tourney chat lobby in League of Legends or by the Genocide Gaming staff.

[*]Teams must select one player to represent them as captain after they have separated into their own channel.

[*]Captains of each team must join the Genocide Tourney chat in the League of Legends lobby in order to receive instruction from staff when they are not in game.
[*]All members of your team MUST be on Teamspeak at the start of your match.

[*]Brackets will be made via Challonge.com with the team in the higher spot in each pairing creating the lobby to start the game. Thus the top team will be Team 1 (Blue side) and the bottom team will be Team 2 (Purple side).

[*]Team captains MUST check in with a staff member and have them join the lobby to spectate before the start of any match.

[*]Players must be ready and able to start games at any given time after the tournament has started. Players who are unable to start a game due to being in a game unrelated to the tournament will be given 10 minutes to complete their game. If they exceed the 10 minute allotted time, then their team will forfeit the tournament match.

[*]If a team member is not on Teamspeak at the start of the match, the match will be delayed for 5 minutes prior to start in order to wait for them to connect. After this period, if they still have not connected, that team will be disqualified.

[*]If a D/C occurs, and is deemed legitimate, the game will be given a 5 minute pause. If the disconnected player fails to return, it counts as a disqualification for that team. If a team pauses without justifiable reason (lag is not a justifiable reason), they will be given a warning for their first offense and must immediately resume the game. If a second offense occurs, the team will be disqualified. All cases of justifiable reasons for pausing will be determined by the staff member spectating the game.
